Celebrating

This is our 5th day home and it has been busy and filled with celebrating. First of course is just to be home and getting used to the differences. Next our first school concert with Zeke. Cenny and JT. Then we had to meet our new financial adviser as ours sold his business while we were in Iceland. We started drinking Green Smoothies under the encouragement of President Ólafur in Iceland. Then Paige arrived from Kansas City for a few days. Saturday we drove to the cities to celebrate Amanda's birthday. Part of the trip was to take Cenny and Eileen to the American Girls store so Eileen could get her doll so she could play dolls with her granddaughters. The trip also included lunch, stops at several stores and buying Amanda's birthday present or at lease some as she wore out before finishing. For me it was just shuttling them around to all the various places but I enjoyed the average 34.1 mpg on the way up and 30.9 on the way back. I am always amazed at the great gas mileage we get since we get negative comments about driving a large car. I get better MPG than most so called economy cars.

Today we enjoyed seeing all our friends again at Church and feeling of the Spirit as they shared their testimonies. It was a great day seeing all our friends of so many years and meeting many new members. David gave a great Sunday School lesson and Bishop White a great Priesthood lesson. It feels so good to be home again.
